Idi Amin, one of the most evil men to have lived on planet earth killed an estimated 500,000 Human beings. This blog is dedicated to honoring his victims. The bodies of most of Amin's victims were clandestinely disposed of or mutilated beyond recognition, never to be recovered by their families. The vast majority of the victims are unidentifiable for this reason. If your loved one was liquidated put their details in any comments section.

He was in hiding but he answered Amin's call for soldiers o surrender. He ended up in Makindye and was blown up.

Then it was Makindye Military barracks, similar killings of Acholi and Langi soldiers had continued since the coup. At least 82 of the soldiers on leave who reported to Makindye military barracks on 5th March 1971, were herded into the notorious “ Singapore ” cell and blown to pieces by grenades thrown inside the cell. Grenade blasts were heard all over Kampala prompting a statement from Gen Idi Amin in an effort to shield what his soldiers were doing to their own fellow soldiers as “soldiers destroying defective bombs”. Officers blasted at the “ Singapore ” cell included, Lt Col Tom Loyira

The commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Mbale, Col Maseura Arach who was also arrested in Jinja, was tortured and beaten to death; his penis was severed and shoved in his mouth, a practice which became more and more common across the country in cold blooded murder cases.

Following the deaths of the two COs, a bugle was sounded in the early hours of the 11th of July 1971, for soldiers to fall out (assemble); over 450 Acholi and Langi soldiers were isolated, then herded into what was a storage facility. Outside soldiers loyal to Idi Amin; were ordered to open fire indiscriminately at the facility killing all occupants.

At the Army School of Infantry In Jinja, the commanding Officer Lt Col Albertino Langoya was killed and his stomach split open with the use of a machete.

over 200 Acholi and Langi soldiers were killed in a staging reminiscent to that in Malire (Lubiri army barracks), in Kampala; some who managed to escaped, sought sanctuary in the Kakira Sugar Works plantation, they were hunted down with the help of the locals and killed. The slaughter of Acholi and Langi officers and men had started on a large scale across the country in army barracks.

In the army, the day after the Amin coup, the first batch of Acholi and Langi soldiers were killed at the Malire (Lubiri) Mechanized barracks, including its commanding officer Lt Col Akwango.

Lt Col Augustino Akwango was on his way back from holiday Sergent Major Jackson Ongole. They camped at our home in Pece before they got a radio message to report back to Kampala in their base. Both of them were gunned down in the same spot in Lubiri.... Source Nephew (........)

: he worked closely with Amin in setting up the "State Research Unit", which operatedfrom Amin's office,' and he became first head of that unit. Where is he? Gone missing.... Liquidated

Hereunder is what Kibedi wrote to Amin Re: Ozi"In October, 1973 you dismissed MAJOR OZI, Chief of the "State Research Unit" "because it hasbeen proved that all subversive activities including kidnapping and killing of people were carried out with the knowledge of Major Ozi". You accused Ozi of having issued documents to Kondos (robbers) "who went round claiming that they were from the President's Office", and further claimed that "some of these documents, bearing the signature of Major Ozi are now in the hands of the Military Police". You never put 0zi on trial of any kind, nor did you produce the documentary and other evidence claimed to incriminate him. After your accusations, Ozi simply went missing."

Kibedi's writing to Amin "CAPTAIN ASWA: as Warrant Officer Class II he made the very first official announcement after the coup, reading out the 18 reasons and introducing you to the people of Uganda. Where is he? Liquidated without trial."

Warrant Offier Aswa who read the 18 points ushering in the military dic tatorship, and had been promoted to captain, died. After being rewarded with a huge hardware shop left by an Asian, he sold the stock, left fro Nairobi and lived lavishly in big hotels. When his turn came, the Kenyan Governement repartriated him. He was arrested and taken to Amin. Aswa's crimes were never disclosed. A doctor who saw the body in the mortuary at Mulato Hospital said he was shot in the forehead, the bullet going through the back of the neck. However the postmortem report in the Voice of Uganda said he died of shock.

Are you related to Aswa, are you one of his children? What is your take on this? Do you have any information?. Please write.

TV viewers vividly recall the drama he staged on the occasion of the rmoval of the bronze casting of Obote's sculpture from the archway of the approach to the Uganda Parliament buildings. He demonstrated his production ability and rhythimically ortrayed the dislike for Obote the villain, and glorified the new regime. One would have thought his programme meritted an appreciation or a reward. Instead,, soon after and for an unknown offence, Bwogi was killed by the same people he had glorified. His real crime was never made public and he was soon forgotten by friends and foes alike.

it is important to point out that the Army Chief of Staff, Brigadier Hussein is among the first non Acholi or Lango officer known to have been killed; he was severely beaten and his severed head was delivered in an armoured personnel carrier (APC) at Amin’s residence, later known as the “Command Post”.

Express Football club became known as "Club of the dead" because so many of its officials and supporters had ben murdered. In any Army-Express match the army team had to win If it lost, the crowd would be in for a beating for being anti-army.

Immediately after the coup, about 800 officers from the police, army and obote's secret police, GSU had ben arrested and detained in Luzira prison. Among them was a friend of mine who told me what happened. On december 29th 1971 after almost a year's detention and many futile attempts to have them released, they were all blindfolded and transferred by buses under army escort to Mutukula prison. There 45 officers and between 250 noncommissioned officers were slaughtered. They were buried by those who still survived. On January 25th the first anniversary of the coup, Amin announced a general amnesty for all detainees....... H.Kyemba
